“I feel like sometimes in the NFL, teams cautiously treat guys like kids,” Sanders said on 104.3 The Fan, via The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala. “That’s one thing I noticed here [in San Francisco] in the aspect of they treat everybody like grown men.”

Sanders’ comment on comparing the teams sounded harsh. The fans of the Broncos thought so too.

However, that’s not the case. In response to some fans thinking he doesn’t like the Broncos, he clarified his statement, saying that he has all love for Denver in the process.

“I should of never went on a Broncos sports station to talk 49ers,” Sanders tweeted. “I knew it was a bad idea when they reached out and asked. I knew some people would twist everything as if I’m throwing shade at the Broncos in describing the 49ers environment. Just know I’m a fan of the Broncos.”

Sanders won a Super Bowl with the Broncos. Denver’s current team wasn’t allowing him to do it again. Now, in San Francisco, he has a legitimate shot at winning it all as a member of the 49ers.
